Maybe we can blame it on the pandemic, but I’ve discovered the Southern cooking ain’t what it used to be. I did manage to find some good catfish, fried of course, in Natchez, Mississippi, right on the banks of the river. Next door is the club in which Jerry Lee Lewis got his start.
I made a quick pass through the Vicksburg battlefield. You could spend days tracing the movement of troops through the area, but I’ll save you the trouble: the Americans won. An interesting fact I learned while there…during the American occupation of Vicksburg, they stationed what they then called “colored troops,” armed to the teeth, to maintain law and order. Poetic justice is served!
Visited the National Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola Naval Air Station. Huge building crammed full of planes. Nice collection of early airplanes from the WWI era. I was glad to see they had a large and informative exhibit about airships and blimps.
While traveling through the waterlogged section of the country, I’ve learned that boat launch ramps are often good places to camp overnight.
Loving your travelogue and wry witty comments!
Way down there in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten! Look away, look away, Dixieland!
